Fantastic location. It is possible to reach most temples (even Hatschepsut) by hiking. The hotel serves natural food from its garden, home-made goat cheese and eggs from a small chicken farm. Even though the price for lunch/dinner is a bit high, it's absolutely worth it. Room amenities are basic, countryside-style but clean, mattress was perfect. Every morning the hot air balloons fly over the property which is spectacular. It is difficult to get to the ferry or to go shopping in the village because locals constantly try to overcharge you. Remember the minibus to the ferry is 2 pounds, a motorbike is 5 pounds, and a car may take you for 10 pounds, but drivers will demand 100 or 50 pounds first and foreigners never get anything without the hassle of negotiating and arguing and involuntary tipping (It’s a Luxor problem in general). That said, the hotel is great and absolutely recommended as starting point for an exploration of the historic sites nearby.

I felt really looked after, my room was lovely and the food was really excellent and fresh. Hamdy the waiter could not have been more attentive. I loved the herbs straight from the garden on your food, ie rocket, and the felafel was the equal best I have ever had in Egypt (I am a bit of a connniseur of felafel).The roof is amazing and the views are incredible.

This property is the best in Luxor I am sure of it. It is on budget, beautiful, near the best sites in the area, and best of all the owner is incredible and will become like family to you. I recommend wholeheartedly.

The New Memnon is located within walking distance to some of the most interesting sites on the West Bank. Fifteen minutes to Deir el Medina and Medinet Habu and only slightly farther to the Valley of the Queens and the Ramesseum. That’s probably one reason it is popular with archaeologists. If’s well kept, with very helpful personnel. The food is very good. If you want dinner you talk to them earlier in the day and they prepare something with care. That makes for great food, but I would prefer being able to drop in and order off a menu.

Five Star Service The New Memnon was a great find in Luxor. Brand new quiet facility in god location. As other reviews have stated, it is the amazing hospitality and warmth of Sayed the owner that makes this an unforgettable experience. We have traveled the world and not only was the most memorable stay in Egypt but an outstanding hotel of any other we have stayed in . The service warmth and sincerity will make Egypt most memorable Thank you Sayed !!

Everything about this place ranks superb or better!!

The owner is a wonderful host. He will do everything to make your stay beautiful. The rooms are super clean and comfortable. Everything works! The building is small so it feels like a house rather than a hotel. The staff works incredibly hard and all interactions are respectful and friendly.
